FEBRUARY 10, "1948

Curling, a. game that has made big strides in popularity in these parts in recent years and bids fair in the future to become the out- standing winter sports attraction, held the sporting spotlight yes- terday as curlers from all over the Maritimcs and two rinks from St. John's, Newfoundland, opened the second Confederation Bonspiel in an auspicious manner at the Charlottetown curling club and the Forum. five rinks being laid out on the iatterb big ice space.

While it is rather early to start. judging results, competition during the next four days promises to be very keen. Matches yesterday with but few exceptions werehard fought affairs and it is expected that when play starts to narrow down to the semi-finals for the eight trophies that curling fans will witness some of the finest matches ever curled in this vicin- iy. '

d- 0 6- 0

Likewise play for the British Consols trophy and the right to represent the Province in the Dominion Tankard at Calgary March 1st to 5th, also promises to be as keen as the ice on which the curlers are sending their stones over. For the past number of years Charlottetown rinks have more or loss held a. nwnopoiy on the title but this year Summerside, Mont- ague and Alberton are furnishing distinct threats and the two Char- lottetown rinks are going to ex- perience plenty of trouble in re- taining for the City club the re- cognized championship of the pro- vines.

Appearance of the Hawks here on next Monday night is causing more than a mild flurry of enClbbmellt among local hockey patrons. Due in a large measure to the presence on the team of "Buck" Whitlock, Charlottetown boy and leadim scorer of the league. progress of the Hawks has been followed avidly all season long and particularly so now as Whltiockk lead is being seriously threatened.

Getting away from their causing appearance here we are of the opinion, now that Whitiock is back in action he will be able to hold his lead to the end of file sched- ule.

won't be of age for another two weeks, tonight dethroned Danny Webb of Montreal as Canadian lightweight chanspion, when he scored a technical knockout in the eighth round of a scheduled 12- round bout.

The eighth round was two min- ‘utes and 20 seconds old when referee Billy Burke stopped the contest. after King opened a two- inch gash over Webb's right eye- brow with a series of slashing lofts.

King, who turned professional only two years ago, fought at 134% Pounds, half s pound heav- ier than the stocky Webb who fought gamely but failed to gain s. round from the boy he out- pointed some months ago over eight heats.

A crowd of 7.500 fans saw King display the sharpest fight of his pro career in the first title bout here in 10 years and the first Dominion lightweight contest in history between two Negros. Before the sudden end, the tiger-like King had won five and tied two of the earlier rounds. ac-
